Cheltenham
Course form to help
He has been running well, won by thirteen lengths at Exeter last month and should have won again ten days later at Taunton where he ran around in front through greenness, then rallied strongly and was just chinned on the line. We will try different tactics on Friday and if he concentrates better then he is capable of being competitive at a track where he was successful in a bumper last season.
Decent ground to suit
The plan was to get him out in the autumn but he cut himself schooling which delayed his return to action. He's a fun horse, is fine now, loves decent ground and stays well but the setback cost him a couple of weeks so he might just come on for the run.
Doncaster
Will come on for the run
We kept him low key over hurdles while he gained experience but he was always going to be a chaser, jumps well, needs good ground and is ready to start after a wind op earlier in the season. I'm hoping for a decent show from Le Chiffre d'Or who will improve for the outing.
Best chance. Timeforatune. 12:05. Cheltenham. He won three bumpers and is already useful over hurdles.
